    Career Opportunities in the Creative Industry

    Students of the Hlderlin School explore Stuttgarts agencies within their project Life Skills

    Stuttgart, Germany, April 09, 2010 -- On March 31, the ninth grade of the Hlderlin School in Stuttgart visited the Public Relations agency oha communication and the design bureau Engenhart. 21 students had a browse through the agencies, caught up on career opportunities in the media business and discussed with the experts about useful skills for a career in the creative industry. The trip took place the second year in row. The school subject Life Skills has been established to prepare young people for their life and work.

    Media companies and agencies offer many interesting professions for young people. According to a study on behalf of the Business Development Department of the State Capital of Baden-Wrttemberg, 4,182 creative companies with 22,000 employees were situated in Stuttgart in 2009. For the people in Stuttgart, this branch is an important and promising economic factor.

    It is important, that young people get practical insights at an early stage, explains graphic designer Marc Engenhart. Thatincreases the chance for young people to choose the profession that suits best.We try to briefly describe our jobs with allbanalities and tasks. We want the students to understand, for whom a career in our field could be of interest. In agencies, creativity is often less related to art. It rather describes the ability to address challenges and create benefits

    for the customer, explains Oliver Hahr, PR consultant und founder of oha communication. Curiosity and the determination to get things accomplished are the most important skills. As an agency for international communication, we also value

    language and intercultural skills.

    The visit at the agencies was part of the school subject Life Skills. It was launched at the Hlderlin School Stuttgart threeyears ago in order to prepare the youngsters for their life and work. In grade five and six, for example, the focus lies on roadsafety education and nutrition. In grade nine, the career preparation begins. The students practice job interviews, arrange their application documents and visit various companies in the region of Stuttgart.
